Fantasy Saddle & Tack Refinishing

Saddle Refinishing to Bring Your Fantasy to LIFE!

After your consultation, you send me your saddle for refinishing.  I then strip the saddle with several chemicals to remove previously applied finishes and oils.  Depending on the saddle, leather, and discussed design options I will hand carve, tool, dye and/or paint to achieve the fantasy look you are dreaming of!


Important note:  I do NOT repair saddles or tack.  Any saddle damage or necessary repairs must be done prior to sending the saddle to me for fantasy refinishing.  I just Fantasy-ify your tack to bring a little fairytale to your tack room. :)

Styles & Specialties

I love doing pretty much anything fantasy or fairytale, but message me to discuss your ideas!


  • Dragons & Phoenix
  • Mermaids, Pirates, & Sea Monsters
  • Viking, Orc, & Warrior


Not Just Saddles!!!

This  was an older plain black bridle and reins I had from Spain that I didn't use much anymore.  So I added a custom bitless noseband and bronze and pewter to the bridle and reins to bring it back to life!


Clear out any good condition tack that is just boring or maybe isn't your style anymore.  Send me pictures and let's discuss how we could give it a face lift and make you fall in love with it again!
